Which German coupe is the more focused driver's car? We find out

The War Against Ethanol, Part II

A history of the fuel

It is "a universal assumption that [ethyl] alcohol in some form will be a constituent of the motor fuel of the future." So wrote Scientific American. The year was 1920, and the respected journal was not alone in this belief.
